PNFS Block Layout TODO

From Linux NFS

This page is intended to serve as a "to-do" list for the Linux pNFS Block Layout client.

pNFS Block Layout Userspace Daemon

• Give it consistent naming (process name, executable name, pidfile name, etc)
• Fully understand and document what it does and why it needs to do it
• Use existing methods (udev, libdevmapper, etc) to scan and create disks instead of inventing new methods
• Use udev notifications to trigger device rescan, instead of rescanning once a minute
• Use a pre-existing upcall mechanism instead of inventing our own
• Give it meaningful debug messages
• General code cleanup
• man page and any other needed documentation
